2021 Curbside Brush & Loose Leaf Collection Guidelines Brush Week: Brush is defined as tree branches, hedge clippings, garden debris and leaves. The City does not pick up grass, dirt, root balls, or stumps at any time. Curbside collection of brush is scheduled on your garbage day during the first full, non-holiday week of the month from April through December. Brush weeks are underlined on the collection calendar. Brush should be placed in paper biodegradable bags or bundled and tied. Bundles can be no longer than 4 feet in length and have branches no larger than 3 inches in diameter. Bags and bundles shall not exceed 50 pounds in weight. Do not place brush inside garbage or recycling carts for collection. Place bags and bundles at least 3 feet away from the garbage and recycling carts on the terrace or driveway apron, no later than 7 am on the scheduled collection day. Do not obstruct the sidewalk. Spring Cleanup: Spring Cleanup is 3 consecutive weeks of brush collection, scheduled from April 26th to May 14th. Follow the same guidelines as the Brush Week collection above. Fall Loose Leaf Collection: Fall Loose Leaf Collection runs for 5 consecutive weeks, starting October 18th and ending November 19th. Collection is scheduled for the day after your garbage day. Loose leaf collection weeks are noted by the green boxes on the Sanitation Collection Calendar. 1st 2nd 3rd 4th Final Loose Leaf Collection Day Day Day Day Day Day Friday Garbage = Monday Loose Leaf Collection 10/18 10/25 11/01 11/08 11/15 Monday Garbage = Tuesday Loose Leaf Collection 10/19 10/26 11/02 11/09 11/16 Tuesday Garbage = Wednesday Loose Leaf Collection 10/20 10/27 11/03 11/10 11/17 Wednesday Garbage = Thursday Loose Leaf Collection 10/21 10/28 11/04 11/11 11/18 Thursday Garbage = Friday Loose Leaf Collection 10/22 10/29 11/05 11/12 11/19 Place leaves loosely on the terrace, no bags or brush, no later than 7 am on the day after your scheduled garbage collection day. Rake the leaves as close to the street as possible. Do not rake leaves into the street, the gutter line or over the sidewalk. Be mindful of obstructions, such as parked cars, mailboxes, fire hydrants and power poles. Do not mix brush, grass clippings, other plant materi- als, dirt, root balls, rocks or stumps with the leaves. Loose leaf collection may end any time due to weather or equipment issues. Scheduled Loose leaf collection will end November 19th. Christmas Tree collection: Christmas tree collection will take place during 2 weeks in January. Check the City website for exact dates. Place trees on the terrace or driveway apron, no later than 7 am on your scheduled garbage collection day. Artificial or flocked trees will NOT be collected. Remove all decorations, lights and the tree stand. Trees must not be buried by snow. Trees must be removed from plastic bags. Christmas wreaths, garland or swags that contain a metal frame should be placed in the garbage cart. Brush, leaves and Christmas trees may also be taken to the City of Oshkosh Yard Waste Drop off Site. A permit is required. 6 .

Nac. No. 85 Km. 45, Linares, Nuevo León 67700, México 2Plant Physiology, Agricultural College, Professor Jaya Shankar Telangana State Agricultural University, Polasa, Jagtial, Karimnagar, Telangana, India Abstract The present paper make a synthesis of a comparative leaf anatomy including leaf surface, leaf lamina, petiole and venation as well as wood anatomy of 30 woody species of a Tamaulipan Thorn Scrub, Northeastern Mexico. The results showed a large variability in anatomical traits of both leaf and wood anatomy. The variations of these anatomical traits could be effectively used in taxonomic delimitation of the species and adaptation of the species to xeric environments. For example the absence or low frequency of stomata on leaf surface, the presence of long palisade cells, and presence of narrow xylem vessels in the wood could be related to adaptation of the species to drought. Besides the species with dense venation and petiole with thick collenchyma and sclerenchyma and large vascular bundle could be well adapted to xeric environments. It is suggested that a comprehensive consideration of leaf anatomy (leaf surface, lamina, petiole and venation) and wood anatomy should be used as a basis of taxonomy and drought resistance.

Ferns of the National Forests in Alaska
Ferns of the National Forests in Alaska United States Forest Service R10-RG-182 Department of Alaska Region June 2010 Agriculture Ferns abound in Alaska’s two national forests, the Chugach and the Tongass, which are situated on the southcentral and southeastern coast respectively. These forests contain myriad habitats where ferns thrive. Most showy are the ferns occupying the forest floor of temperate rainforest habitats. However, ferns grow in nearly all non-forested habitats such as beach meadows, wet meadows, alpine meadows, high alpine, and talus slopes. The cool, wet climate highly influenced by the Pacific Ocean creates ideal growing conditions for ferns. In the past, ferns had been loosely grouped with other spore-bearing vascular plants, often called “fern allies.” Recent genetic studies reveal surprises about the relationships among ferns and fern allies. First, ferns appear to be closely related to horsetails; in fact these plants are now grouped as ferns. Second, plants commonly called fern allies (club-mosses, spike-mosses and quillworts) are not at all related to the ferns. General relationships among members of the plant kingdom are shown in the diagram below. Ferns & Horsetails Flowering Plants Conifers Club-mosses, Spike-mosses & Quillworts Mosses & Liverworts Thirty of the fifty-four ferns and horsetails known to grow in Alaska’s national forests are described and pictured in this brochure. They are arranged in the same order as listed in the fern checklist presented on pages 26 and 27. 2 Midrib Blade Pinnule(s) Frond (leaf) Pinna Petiole (leaf stalk) Parts of a fern frond, northern wood fern (p.

Invasive Plants in Your Backyard!
Invasive Plants In Your Backyard! A Guide to Their Identification and Control new expanded edition Do you know what plants are growing in your yard? Chances are very good that along with your favorite flowers and shrubs, there are non‐native invasives on your property. Non‐native invasives are aggressive exotic plants introduced intentionally for their ornamental value, or accidentally by hitchhiking with people or products. They thrive in our growing conditions, and with no natural enemies have nothing to check their rapid spread. The environmental costs of invasives are great – they crowd out native vegetation and reduce biological diversity, can change how entire ecosystems function, and pose a threat Invasive Morrow’s honeysuckle (S. Leicht, to endangered species. University of Connecticut, bugwood.org) Several organizations in Connecticut are hard at work preventing the spread of invasives, including the Invasive Plant Council, the Invasive Plant Working Group, and the Invasive Plant Atlas of New England. They maintain an official list of invasive and potentially invasive plants, promote invasives eradication, and have helped establish legislation restricting the sale of invasives. Should I be concerned about invasives on my property? Invasive plants can be a major nuisance right in your own backyard. They can kill your favorite trees, show up in your gardens, and overrun your lawn. And, because it can be costly to remove them, they can even lower the value of your property. What’s more, invasive plants can escape to nearby parks, open spaces and natural areas. What should I do if there are invasives on my property? If you find invasive plants on your property they should be removed before the infestation worsens.

LESSON 5: LEAVES and TREES
LESSON 5: LEAVES and TREES LEVEL ONE This lesson might also be called “more about the vascular system.” We are going to study leaves, which are part of the vascular system, and trees, whose trunks and bark are also a part of the vascular system. Let’s look at leaves first. There are names for the parts of a leaf: Some of you may be thinking the same thought that our friend is. Why do scientists always have to make things more difficult by using hard words? It’s because science requires precision not just with experiments, but with words, too. Some of the words on the leaf diagram appear in other branches of science, not just botany. For instance, the word “lateral” pops up in many branches of science, and no matter where you see it, it always means “side,” or something having to do with sides. “Apex” always means “tip,” and the word “lamina” always refers to something flat. Leaves come in a great variety of shapes, and botanists have come up with names for all of them. (That’s great news, eh?) Every leaf can be classified as one of these: simple palmate pinnate double pinnate triple pinnate Look carefully at the patterns of the double and triple pinnate leaves. Can you see how the same pattern is repeated? In the triple pinnate leaf, the tiny branches and the intermediate branches have the same pattern as the whole leaf. There are a great variety of simple leaf shapes and some of these shapes don’t look so simple.
